          Because there is no need for now compared to cost and efficiency.

          Decoding - yes and I believe the last gen has that because streaming services are switching to AV1. However, only creators really would stream and make use of the encoding features.

          Sorry, that was just a quote from the article. You’d have to ask Chip manufacturers why they’re not including this hardware encoder/decoder.
